The Bangkok Eatery — Restaurant in Melbourne

WILL NOT RETURNING! Been reading a review about this restaurant before we go, turn out it was a really bad experience ever comparing to another restaurant I’ve tried around the areas. Poor customer service, poor management, overpriced with little portions. Not authentic at all! To be honest, I've got a bad impression already ever since I entered the restaurant. Bad arrangement. Staffs have been running around and do things slowly. Been asked to sit for 30mn then one of the staff was come and asked if we have ordered yet? Before they even asking I saw them running uselessly around the restaurant. Feels like they are more focusing on taking away then customers waiting inside to dine in. I mean it's okay for us to wait, but they didn’t even come and ask if we need some drink or give us some water, no! Food finally comes after 45mn of waiting, the staff placed the food on our table so loud. I mean we do pay for the foods and service, we didn’t begged them to give us free. Their food is overpriced with little portions. Not worth to try and pay. Coming to bill, they overcharged the food we didn’t order. They charged us extra so be careful when you go pay. Check the receipt is a must! SURELY BE MY...

This restaurant is brilliant, their food is amazing and the flavours very authentic. We tried them during the blackout and were stunned by how delicious their food is, their Tom Yum is so good I drool just thinking about it! The Massaman is so tender and just falls apart on your fork, they must make their own spice mix as it’s divine and beautifully creamy. The spring rolls are handmade and the sauce has a hint of honey in the sweet chilli which perfectly compliments them. We tried the garlic beef which was well marinated so the meat was tender and juicy, and they add a generous amount of vegetables to the meal which in other places has become the norm :( I must say we have found our new Thai food eatery and will happily drive from Timbuktu to get their food!! Fantastic food but if you want a seat get in early as they are extremely popular - obviously the locals of Dingley know about this treasure and eagerly partake in...

Open for a year now, and their increasing popularity is a testament to the food and staff. Having the entire front of the restaurant open on those balmy summer days adds a nice touch, if only it wasn't for having to then deal with traffic noise from a fairly busy road right outside.

That aside, the food is pretty darn delicious, and the serving side is just right (well for me anyway). Flavours and textures work well together, and you can request any level of chilli you want in the dishes. Or just order a bit on the side and add to suit your taste. The staff are unfailingly polite, even when dealing with a full house!

Prices are entirely reasonable, with takeaway being a dollar or two cheaper per dish. The wine list is pretty minimal, however you can BYO with a $3 corkage charge per person.

Give this place a go if you're in the neighbourhood. I don't think you'll be...
